Les Paul Dead at 94
Don't have a link yet, just saw it on CNN. This man changed the world, he was a huge influence on many people. Rock and Roll might not be what it is if it weren't for Les. I can't imagine a world without the sound of a Les Paul and a Marshall stack on 10.

R.I.P :cry: :cry: :cry:

7. Wow...I'm deeply saddened...
...music would not be the same, for better or worse, without Les Paul's incredible contributions to recording technologies and, of course, the electric guitar. He is immortal in my mind.
